Pilot Study for PET/MR Imaging of Covid-19

Description

The primary goal of this project is to study the feasibility of a prototype brain-dedicated PET insert for an MR scanner for simultaneous acquisition of PET/MR images of metabolism and perfusion in Covid-19 negative and positive/once positive subjects. This study serves as a pilot study for establishing an imaging protocol for combined PET and MR derived functional information as well as MRI acquired anatomical information.
